Healthfirst, in partnership with Youth America, will sponsor the 3rd Annual Youth Talent Showcase at Brooklyn College. Students attending schools in Senator Adams' 20th Senatorial district will display their talents through singing, dancing, and instrumental renditions.

Senator Eric Adams was the guest speaker at Janes Methodist United Church for their Men's Day service. His message challenged the men in the community to be good citizens, participate in the political process and taking an active role in improving their community.

Senator Adams convened an Artist Summit: Conversations with the Brooklyn Arts Community, which was moderated by Danny Simmons. Issues concerning the influence of different art mediums in Brooklyn were discussed. Otto Neals was also honored for his years of artistic contributions to the community.

Senator Adams states: "This kind of disgusting hatred has no place in Brooklyn, a borough that was built on diversity. And to desecrate mazuzahs on the day we remember those who died during the Holocaust is unforgivable. When the perpetrators of this hate crime are caught -- and I'm confident they will be -- they should face the maximum penalty under the law."

Senator Eric Adams and the Child Abuse Prevention Program (CAPP) are teaming up during April’s National Child Abuse Prevention Month to remind New Yorkers to take action when it comes to child abuse and neglect. Through this partnership, they created a campaign entitled “One Simple Step Can Change a Child’s Life,” which urges anyone who suspects or learns of child abuse to call the N.Y.S. Child Abuse Hotline at 1 (800) 342-3720. Reporting abuse is a simple yet vital first step in getting a child help and keeping them safe.
